Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Harajuku Bunny's Starfire!

The minute I saw my awesome friend Harajuku Bunny was cosplaying as Starfire (me being a Nightwing fan and all), I was extremely excited to see the finished cosplay and man was I completely in love when it was done! Kelsey took inspiration from the newly revealed Starfire statue from Kotobukiya and the work she put into capturing her was incredible. The cosplay went under small changes with the most recent version having been done for Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con. The fabric Kelsey chose for the outfit is absolutely perfect. The violet shaded suit is adorned with red gems which if I remember corrected were casted in resin.

Kelsey decided to truly become Starfire by covering herself orange and the wig looks amazing. The recent version of this cosplay actually utilizes an updated wig and it's gorgeous! I also love what Kelsey did with the starbolts for her hands. They look like combined pieces of tissue papers wrapped around a red stone. The contacts Kelsey used are a bright green and you can really see them in the pictures below. The poses struck are completely perfect for the character and Kelsey even won the cosplay competition when she debuted the newest version. Some of the pictures below were edited to show the bright starbolt powers! I'm really hoping that I get to meet Kelsey one day and that we can wear our Starfire and Nightwing together. EPIC PICTURES WILL BE TAKEN :D. Hope you guys like the pictures!
